Fighting Boredom – Review of the Year Part Two – The Writers View

We posted the first half of Fighting Boredom’s review of 2017, the photographer’s view, yesterday. Today it’s Adrian Bloxham’s turn, the writer. You get exactly the same as the last page with his top ten albums and comments and then top ten gigs and recomendations. There is some overlap but we don’t feel the same about everything which is what makes Fighting Boredom what it is.

Again, all of the albums here have clips of music with them and all of them are either on Spotify or Bandcamp to listen to, so dive in!

If you ordered insane whiskey addled, grit gargling vocals backed by Satan’s own house band of Demons then you’ve come to the right place. Psychedelic time traveling madness distilled and served straight.﻿

2 – Idles – Brutalism

Just like the title, brutal, short, focused scathing music, very very clever.

1 – Oxbow – Thin Black Duke

This is where Fighting Boredom agree, both of us chose this as our number one album of the year. You start listening to it and two hours later it’s still on, mesmerising and brilliant. As Martin said, just go and buy it.
